Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

$h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s$ Eqn(1).

Where:

$h(t)$ : is the height range as a function of time

$v_{o}$ : is the initial velocity

$s$ : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40$ Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

Ben:

We know that $v_{o}=60ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40$ Eqn.(3)

Josh:

We know that $v_{o}=48ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40$ Eqn. (4).

Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at $h(t)=0$ . Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one.

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

$h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0$

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec$

Since time can only be positive we reject the $t_{2}$ solution and we keep that Ben's book took $t=4.3276$ seconds to reach the ground.

Similarly solving for Josh we obtain

$t_{1}=3.6794sec\\t_{2}=-0.6794sec$

Thus again we reject the negative and keep the positive solution, so Josh's book took $t=3.6794$ seconds to reach the ground.

Then we can find the difference between Ben and Josh times as

$t_{Ben}-t_{Josh}= 4.3276 - 3.6794 = 0.6482$

So to answer the original question:

Whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds?

Josh's textbook reached the ground first
Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Nandini makes 'halwa' one evening and divides it into four equal portions for her family of four. However, just as they are abou

wel

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

The net of a triangular prism is shown below. What is the surface area of the prism? A. 128 cm^2 B. 152 cm^2 C. 176 cm^2 D. 304

shtirl [24]

Answer:

B. 152 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area using a net, do this:

Take apart the figure. We see that there are three rectangles and two triangles. Find the area of each ( $A=l*w$ ) and then add the values together:

The first rectangle on the left is the same as the one on the right.

$5*8=40$

Two measures are 40 cm².

The middle rectangle is:

$6*8=48$

48 cm²

The formula for the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}*b*h$ :

$A=\frac{1}{2}*6*4\\\\A=\frac{1*6*4}{2}\\\\A=\frac{24}{2}\\\\ A=12$

The area of the two triangles is 12 cm².

Now add the values:

$40+40+48+12+12=152$

The area of the figure is 152 cm².

Adam lived a quarter of his life as a boy as fifth as a young man, a third in middle-age and 13 years in retirement. How old was

Anika [276]

ANSWER

Find out the how old was we when he died.

To proof

Let us assume that the age of the Adam be x

As given

Adam lived a quarter of his life as a boy as fifth as a young man, a third in middle-age and 13 years in retirement.

$x =\frac{x}{4} +\frac{x}{5} +\frac{x}{3} + 13$

L.C.M of denominator i.e ( 4,5,3) =60

than the equation becomes

60x = 15x + 12x +20x +780

60x - 47x = 780

13x = 780

$x =\frac{780}{13}$

x = 60 years

therefore the Adam age when he died is 60 years.

Hence proved

An item regularly priced at $80 is on sale for 20% off. There is a 3% sales tax.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:$14.08 and the discount is $16

Step-by-step explanation:first you find 20% of 80 which is 16 and you subtract it from 80 which gives you 64 then you have to find 3% of 64 which is 1.92 and you add it to 64 which is 65.92 then to find how much you are saving you subtract 65.92 from 80 which is 14.08
